Thieves Laundry Soap

Did you know that you can get a free bottle this month?* 

You may think oh big deal right? Think of everything you wash... Where does it go all day?  Your clothes touch your skin, your sheets that you lay on at night, and your pillow case.  Do you really want to be sucking in those chemicals from other laundry detergents all day and all night?  Or your kids? 24 hours a day, 7 days a week??  No?  Not me either.  Just google all the nasty chemicals in those store bought laundry soaps. Or even walk down that aisle in the grocery store! It is not a walk down a beautiful garden. It's totally synthetic. 

Growing up, I had sensitivities to different products ESP laundry detergent. My little girl also has skin issues which led me to essential oils nearly three years ago to effectively clear her skin up. So, I've always watched what we used. 

Thieves Laundry Soap smells amazing and cleans without all those chemicals! From sports clothes, whites, jeans to her fancy dresses, everything gets clean and smells fantastic! It also doesn't give me a headache like when I walk down the laundry detergent aisle at the grocery store. #chemicalfree 

The first load smelled so fresh, ahhh...  After a couple of loads, even my washer smelled super fresh. Anyone else fight with that all the time!? I love the fresh scent on the clothes and it has amazing essential oils in it among them Thieves! That's an amazing oil we use for maintaining our wellness too!  

With a plant-based formula, Thieves Laundry Soap gently and naturally washes your clothes, leaving them truly clean without any synthetic residue. Natural enzymes and powerful essential oils add to the formula’s strength to leave your clothes fresh and clean with a light citrus scent.

This tiny bottle packs a lot of punch!  It was so tiny when it came to my house and I'm like what???  Then, I noticed that this tiny 32 ounce bottle washed 64 loads!  That is crazy!  It's so concentrated which makes it cheaper to ship being it is so small for that much laundry! Why pay for water!? You know you do in other detergents! 😝

Thieves Laundry Soap can be used in all washers, including high-efficiency, and its highly concentrated formula (6X) will provide around 64 loads with just 32 fl. Oz (946 ml).

Top load washer 1/2 cap full; Safe for HE washer 1/4 cap full; Also good for handwashing. 

This is huge! You can get a bottle free with a Premium Starter Kit this month, jump on it quickly! It works with HE and traditional washers. You need to get some of this!

Blood stains remover

Yesterday, my sweet little girl came home with her brand new dress and leggings covered in blood from a nosebleed. She was so upset and scared when it happened plus, her new dress was covered. I have to admit I figured the outfit was a goner!  

So, I remembered the white holiday skirt and began to think how to treat it. You can see that post here: http://sweetsassydiva-gspot.blogspot.com/2015/04/diy-spot-remover.html

I decided to use that method again on this vibrant outfit. I let it soak, while I collected clothes to do a load. Then, I grabbed the thieves laundry detergent and rubbed it on the spots. I laundered it on cold and viola!  I am amazed that the spots are gone! #happywinformom

I took an active role in my family's health and wellness, which has blessed us in so many ways.

DIY Spot Remover

We went out to celebrate last night as a family.  We went to the Olive Garden and My little girl wanted to wear her white ensemble.  You know because that makes sense! 

Are you thinking what I was thinking? Oh no! Crazy to wear white on a little girl at a place that excels at red (spaghetti) sauce and sauces with lots of fat to stain clothes! So, ok she had her heart set on white. I get that and I had it covered. Really I did! I had her take her white jacket off and explained how to be careful to not get spaghetti sauce on herself. Napkin given and talk complete. Food comes and you know the shuffle with tons of distractions with the kids and husband? Yes, lots of that going on. 

You know where this is going right? So, before I could get situated and help her, she grabs the big ravioli to precede to shove it full on in her mouth. Nope! It didn't make it to her mouth as it flops of course red sauce side down! Planted not on the beautiful red flower but, yep you know it, right on a big spot of white! 

So, I blot off as much of the sauce as I can at the restaurant. I'm sure this skirt has completed it's service because that isn't coming out! 

After blotting: 

Yes it was a big old stain and even getting it to look like this was fortunate! 

So, we finished dinner and when we get home, it's time to work my magic. 

I posted a while back about a laundry spot remover. 

http://sweetsassydiva-gspot.blogspot.com/2014/12/diy-laundry-spot-remover.html?m=1

It helped in the past but, can it do anything for a garment that can be washed cold and really the label recommends dry cleaning. Well, I don't know about you but, dry cleaning? I think not esp on kid's clothing. 

I grab my measuring spoons and mixing bowl with ingredients to begin the magic show! You know as this will be a true magical fear to salvage this one! I even thought of dying it all over with spaghetti sauce! Really, I didn't think this was going to happen. 

I mixed up the ingredients, turned the skirt inside out and worked the liquid gently thru the stain. The thought is that by treating it reverse, it pushes the stain back out rather than deeper into the fabric. A few minutes later, it looked like this: 

Ok it looks better but, still very visible. Deep breaths. 

I put it into the laundry machine on a gentle cycle following the instructions on the garment label. I added a capful of thieves cleaner with woolite and said my peace. 

I was flabbergasted! Is that a word? It took the stain out! It worked better than ever was my personal experience with any other pre-treatment stain remover product! 

Check this out!

Chocolate Peppermint Crinkle Cookies

I got some raves on these babies! They're crazy tasty and you can either add young living peppermint or orange essential oils.  Make sure you're not skimping on the quality and only use Young Living essential oils! 

Also, check the bottle because Young Living states if it's dietary and many other brands are not GRAS aka digestible! 

Now, on to the recipe for Chocolate Peppermint Crinkle Cookies! 

Ingredients

• 1 box brownie mix 
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 8 drops of Young Living Peppermint Essential Oils (or 8 drops of Young Living Orange Essential Oils)
• 1 cup Nestle Toll House SemiSweet Chocolate Chips
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar (reserve for coating dough balls)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place brownie mix, flour, eggs, butter and peppermint oil in glass mixing bowl. Stir until blended. (Dough will be uber stiff.) Fold in chocolate chips. 
   
3. Place powdered sugar in separate bowl. For each cookie, scoop 1 rounded tablespoon dough and place in powdered sugar.  Note: I use those little Mellon ball type scoopers that look like an ice cream scoop.  Roll dough gently into balls, coating thoroughly with powdered sugar.
   

   

   Place 2 inches apart on to a pizza stone or on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

   
4. Bake 11-13 minutes, or until they are just barely set (do not over bake). You don't want hard cookies like biscotti to dip in your coffee or hot chocolate! Or maybe you do? Carefully, move them to a cooling rack to cool completely. 
5. Store in a covered container. If they get too dry and hard, put a piece of bread in the container to soften overnight.

Capture the Moment

I have to tell you that, while taking pictures at my son's concert at school as we scrapbookers do to capture the moment, mind you i was hopping from chair to chair with what looked like a private session of musical chairs to get the right angle, as we do as photographers, I was rockin it with Mark! Mark is what I call my camera. Anyway, I was getting proficient at finding a chair and knowing the lay of the land too. Ok so, I thought! I didn't even need to look for the chair.  A little angel aka student, moved a chair without me knowing and I went from standing to butt on the ground! Needless to say, deep relief roll-on is helping my sore behind and back from the eloquent butt landing!

12 Days of Oils Frankincense

Today, I'm talking about a cream that I first tried and the reason I looked at young living essential oils. My four year old had a skin flare up and was diagnoised at the doctor. He prescribed a cortisone steroid cream and it just made it spread worse. So, I tried the essential oils and her skin went back to normal. 

I used 1 cup of coconut oil and whipped it for about 5 minutes. It gets fluffy like a cream and mixed in 10 drops of each frankincense, melrose and lavender essential oils. I apply this as a skin cream and it helps to maintain a healthy glowng skin. 

I used a cute container I found at hobby lobby.  I embellished it with Graphic 45 using the Twelve Days of Christmas line. The center comes from the banners package and the flower from the flowers package. 

The banner I stamped using the stampin up alphabet rotary stamp item 133769 and classic stampin pad in blackberry bliss 133642.

The cream ribbon is from Anna griffin holiday card making kit that I believe was on qvc or hsn. The red checkered ruffled ribbon item #505685 by ribbonFx is from my ribbon stash. 

I layered the elements on top of the kid using dimensional type product in my stash.

12 Days of Oils Lemon

Lemon sugar scrub

DIY Lemon sugar scrub recipe: 

2 1/2 cups of sugar

1/2 cup of Grapeseed oil

2 tablespoons of lemon juice

10 drops of Young Living lemon essential oil

Mix into a glass bowl. Combine liquids with the sugars and incorporate until a paste consistency is achieved. Add more grapeseed oil, if the mixture seems too dry or sugar, if it is too wet.  Even my little girl helped make this one!

I found the cute sugar scrub jars at Hobby Lobby item number 710798.

Spoon the mixed scrub into cute jars. 

We embellished it with a yellow stampin up ribbon and a tag from Graphic 45. It was in the twelve days of Christmas collection g45 chipboard 1 4500740. It was adhered with dimensionals to the ribbon. 

This is a great gift to keep next to the sink after gardening, doing dishes or next to the bath. Be careful with applying this in the bath esp to soothe your feet as it can be slippery with the oils.
